Five connected research paths

From raw seismic records to subsurface structures, foundation models and executable geophysical agents.

01

Seismic Data Processing

We study the full chain from missing-trace reconstruction to first-arrival picking under irregular acquisition, random noise and coherent interference. Generative models, self-supervised learning, implicit representations and geometry-aware networks are combined with seismic structure, while SeismicBench records datasets, metrics and reproducible experiments.

02

Geophysical Inversion

For velocity-model building, full-waveform inversion and multiphysics problems, wave equations, sensing priors and deep networks are placed in a common optimization framework. Work spans end-to-end inversion, physics-informed generative learning, neural implicit representations and parameter-efficient adaptation, with attention to missing low frequencies, initial-model dependence, 3D cost and uncertainty.

03

Artificial Intelligence Algorithms

We derive broadly useful AI methods from geophysical problems, including domain adaptation, noise-robust losses, personalized federated learning, generative modeling and efficient 3D vision. The goal is to explain why models transfer, when they fail and how they can be deployed reliably under limited data and compute.

04

Foundation Models for Geophysics

We study scalable pretraining and cross-modal alignment across seismic, gravity, magnetic, electromagnetic and textual knowledge, building foundation models that adapt through prompts, lightweight decoders or low-rank updates. The program also covers data governance, physical consistency, generalization evaluation, trustworthiness and open benchmarks.

05

Geophysical Agents

We explore geophysical agents that use language models to plan experiments, call specialist software and organize evidence. The first public case exposes SPECFEM 2D, 3D Cartesian and 3D Globe workflows as MCP tools, supporting automated and human-in-the-loop execution from parameter generation and meshing to solving and visualization; future work extends this pattern to processing, imaging, inversion and interpretation.
